OK cool but I'm NJ and had visited for the mid Ohio indycar. Got a 1g disposable for about $32 which is about half what we pay ovah heeah. Certified distillate with live resin terps the little thing slapped for a month, never clogged. You have it pretty fucking great in Ohio.

    That's pretty much exactly the price I pay in NJ for 1g vape carts.

    If you're paying $60, then you're being overcharged.

    Less often for live resin, but still usually around $40. Sometimes those you gotta get on sale.

    Quick screenshot from a store that I've been to (really trying not to dox myself on this site):

    That's with "live resin" filtering out everything else. Without it, the cheapest 1g carts are $29 (though I'm not a fan of those ones, they all have the gross added chemical fruit flavors so I usually end up spending 35-40)

    THE worst. And it seems like that's the direction most of these places are moving in. I've been to more than one store where I've told the clerk that I prefer my vape carts to taste like weed and not gross chemicals and they always seem to understand completely (if not agree), and yet every time there are fewer options like that.

    Are we really in the minority here? Are most people really looking for chemical fruit vapes?

    My guess is that they're cheaper to produce? I don't know... Just don't add flavor like goddamn

    That's a cartel

    A cartel is a group of independent market participants who collaborate with each other and avoid competing with each other in order to improve their profits and dominate the market.

    Wait?! How many grams to an ounce? It’s been years and I wonder if the price is really that low. Maybe I just forgot the pricing.

    1 ounce = ~28.34 grams so $6.99 / ounce = $0.247 / gram, $112 / ounce = $3.95 / gram.

    Surely there's an error in my maths somewhere...

    I call bs on a $7 ounce, unless its some old shake or something. In CA the cheapest you could get an ounce is like $40-50 but thats only in the big cities, $80-100 i feel is pretty standard for the cheep stuff

    Illinois too. There's people that drive the hour and a half from Chicago to Michigan regularly to stock up.

    I mean technically it's illegal to buy from other states anyway. Crossing borders with it is a federal crime.
